Popular Nigerian singer Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, known by his stage name Skales, has claimed that he co-wrote several hit songs for his fellow artist Wizkid during their time at Empire Mates Entertainment (EME). In a recent interview on the show Curiosity Made Me Ask, hosted by content creator Bae U Barbie, Skales opened up about his collaborative efforts with Wizkid, revealing that he contributed to the success of Wizkid’s debut album Super Star, including writing the bonus track “Wiz Party.”
Skales explained that during their time at EME, collaboration and teamwork were common among the label’s artists. He emphasized that the process of writing songs for each other was a collective effort. “Back in EME, we were a team, so we used to write songs for each other. He wrote ‘Mukulu’ for me, and I wrote his song ‘Wiz Party,’” Skales said. He further underscored that their working relationship was mutually beneficial, with each artist contributing to the other’s growth and success.
Wizkid’s Super Star album, released in 2011, was a defining moment in his career, launching him into mainstream success and solidifying his place as one of Africa’s leading music talents. Skales’ recent revelation sheds light on the behind-the-scenes collaboration that helped shape some of the album’s popular tracks. The album’s success has since played a pivotal role in Wizkid’s rise to global stardom.
While Skales and Wizkid have since pursued their respective solo careers, their time at EME remains a significant chapter in Nigerian music history. Skales’ acknowledgment of their teamwork highlights the importance of collaboration in the industry, where songwriters and artists often work together to create iconic music.
As Skales continues to forge his own path in the music scene, his comments serve as a reminder of the early days when both artists were part of a collective effort at EME, contributing to each other’s artistry and success.
